About this Cheese

Butterkäse

Some cheeses make a bold statement. Butterkäse takes a different approach.

Known for its smooth texture and mild, buttery flavor, Butterkäse has been a staple in German kitchens for generations. It's the kind of cheese that feels equally at home on a lunch table, a cheese board, or melted into a favorite recipe. Rich without being heavy and flavorful without being overpowering, Butterkäse offers a simple pleasure that appeals to cheese lovers of all ages.

Ammerländer Butterkäse is made using milk from the Ammerland region of North Germany, where dairy farming and cheesemaking traditions have been passed down for generations. Made without additives and naturally lactose-free, it reflects the quality and craftsmanship that define every Ammerländer cheese.
